The Twitter’s New Offense Is A Better Strategy for Its Survival

By

They taught us in economics that companies have to specialize and build core competencies. They need to do things really well, and be the best possible in the domains. But today, we think that does not make a lot of sense in the digital space.

For technology companies, everyone is doing everything, even at top-level. Alphabet, Google parent company, is a car company, a search company, a medical company, an advertising juggernaut, etc. Amazon.com is an e-commerce firm, a publisher, a movie producer, a drone maker, etc.

Today, Twitter is going after Skype, WhatsApp, etc even as Bluesky and others are coming after it: “Twitter CEO Elon Musk has announced new features that will allow users of the social media platform to make voice and video calls, marking a new entrant in the chat and instant messaging business.”

Elon Musk is playing offense, making it clear that he would not stay here frozen for his blue bird to be attacked and eaten alive. This is the new age: offense is the best defense and no company is safe. Meta (parent of WhatsApp and Facebook) will now have to update a line in its competition sheet, with a new company named Twitter!

Comment 1: In the tech industry, fierce competition is ubiquitous, and companies are always on the lookout for ways to distinguish themselves. As a result, new entrants are constantly disrupting the market, prompting established players to elevate their game and bring fresh ideas to the table. This perpetual cycle of innovation and adaptation ultimately culminates in users having the final say on which companies emerge victorious.

How China is Changing the Narrative of the Struggle for World Power

Since the cold war era, the global economy has been highly driven by western capitalism, and the United States of America has been the vanguard of the hegemony and the power dynamics of the increasing globalization. Before the second world-war, Americans such as, John D. Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie, Cornelius Vanderbilt etc had characterised the American value and work ethic, creating the path for the next generation entrepreneurs to achieve incremental innovation.

However, in recent periods, much has been said about the imminent rupture of the American hegemony and the Western Capitalism largely due to the daunting acceleration of China which has been leading development from the Eastern part of the world. Over the last two decades, China has been seen to continuously demonstrate grit and innovate toward changing the narrative.

According to a 2021 McKinsey report, the global wealth more than tripled in the year 2020 rising to $514trillion from $156trillion in 2000. Over the course of this period, China has significantly advanced its economic strength to displace the US from the top spot worldwide after many years in 2020. The report shows the national balance sheets of ten countries (i.e. USA, China, Germany, France, UK, Japan, Sweden, Mexico, Canada, and Australia) which represent more than 60 percent of the world’s economies were analysed, and China emerged as accounting for almost one-third of the gains in the global net worth over the last 20 years.

‘’As net worth worldwide rose to $514trillion in 2020 from $156trillion in 2000, china wealth plunged to 120 trillion from 7 trillion in 2000 and the US experienced muted increase property prices but almost doubled its net worth to 90 trillion over the same period’’ McKinsey analysis as reported by Bloomberg reveals.

The report goes further to show that in the two biggest economies, USA and China, more than two-thirds of the wealth is concentrated in just 10 percent of the richest households

In another analysis, Yu Minhong, Chairman of New Oriental Education and Technology Group presents his view of the Chinese economic expansion which implies much of the great things that have been witnessed or said about China may represent only an insignificant achievement compared to what have yet to be discovered. According to him:

‘’…the upside is even greater. For the private sector in China only 10 percent of the potential has been tapped into. For thousands of years, businessmen were prevented from doing business. Now they are making up for the lost time with a vengeance, capitalizing on the size and quality of the workforce, China’s lower cost base and huge hunger for industrial consumption.’’

Twitter to Introduce Voice and Video Calls, Encrypted Messaging – Musk

Twitter CEO Elon Musk has announced new features that will allow users of the social media platform to make voice and video calls, marking a new entrant in the chat and instant messaging business.

Musk, who has been exploring ways to make Twitter better and profitable since he acquired the platform late last year, said the latest changes, which include encrypted message, will come with the latest version of Twitter that will be released on Wednesday.

“With latest version of app, you can DM reply to any message in the thread (not just most recent) and use any emoji reaction.

“Release of encrypted DMs V1.0 should happen tomorrow. This will grow in sophistication rapidly. The acid test is that I could not see your DMs even if there was a gun to my head.

“Coming soon will be voice and video chat from your handle to anyone on this platform, so you can talk to people anywhere in the world without giving them your phone number,” Musk said.

This new feature means that WhatsApp, which dominates the instant messaging industry with more than 2 billion monthly users globally, has a new competitor. Twitter has about 400 million monthly users; a huge number that analysts believe can disrupt the status quo.

Musk said Tuesday that WhatsApp cannot be trusted as allegations mount that the chat app has been spying on users.

Musk has maintained that he bought Twitter mainly to promote free speech by making it the platform that upholds truth and gives everyone uncensored liberty to speak.

“On this platform, unlike the one-way street of broadcast, people are able to interact, critique and refute whatever is said,” Musk said on Wednesday in response to a video posted by Tucker Carlson, which called the mainstream media out for lies, propaganda and manipulations.  Musk added that anything misleading on Twitter will get @CommunityNotes

However, while Twitter users have applauded some of the new features, Musk has acknowledged that the company has been under severe financial strains and was close to bankruptcy – underscoring the need for more revenue generation – especially as newly-made changes sparked mass exodus of advertisers from the platform.

The billionaire has made several changes on Twitter, including the monetization of verification marks that resulted in removal of blue ticks under the legacy verification, to generate more revenue.

One of Musk’s biggest moves so far is the incorporation of Twitter into his everything app dubbed X. An idea he plans to develop by also making Twitter a payment platform.

Polygon’s Network Thrives, but Tradecurve Presale Steals the Spotlight

As Polygon’s network continues to grow, attracting partnerships and fostering innovation, its token, MATIC, has yet to catch up with the ecosystem’s success. Despite the network’s impressive metrics, such as over 340,000 active users and $1.1 billion locked in DeFi protocols, the MATIC token’s performance has been relatively sluggish.

On the other hand, Tradecurve ($TCRV) is enjoying massive acceptance, garnering significant interest during its presale phase. In this complex landscape, Polygon remains focused on its core mission—business, building, and onboarding—while investors keep a close eye on the evolving token landscape.

Why is Polygon MATIC underperforming?

Polygon’s MATIC token has been underperforming despite the network’s impressive growth and positive metrics. Several factors could be contributing to this underperformance:

  1. Market Capitalization: With a market capitalization of around $10 billion, Polygon is already a top 10 cryptocurrency based on market cap. This means that the token has already undergone its price discovery phase, and there might be limited room for growth compared to smaller, newer projects.
  2. Price discovery and growth cycle: MATIC experienced a significant growth cycle in 2021, when it climbed from $0.04 to a high of $2.59 by May. After reaching an all-time high near $3 at the start of 2022, the token’s growth might have reached a plateau, as is common with many cryptocurrencies after rapid growth periods.
  3. Focus on network development: The Polygon team’s primary focus is on building and expanding the network, rather than promoting the token. As a result, the token’s price might not be a primary concern for the team, which could affect the token’s performance in the market.

MATIC’s underperformance can be attributed to a combination of factors, including market capitalization, previous growth cycles, the team’s focus on network development, market sentiment, competition, and the token’s utility.
